Exploring the Night Sky at the John C. Wells PlanetariumLocation: John C. Wells Planetarium, Miller Hall

Our Ancestors were adept at decoding the sky to learn their position on the surface of the planet, to tell the passage of time, and to learn when winter was approaching. Today, astrophysics is an academic enterprise in which we have learned our Universe is filled with billions of galaxies, each of which can have billions of stars. We are now learning that planets around these stars are common. Is the discovery of life next? Join us for a workshop at the John C. Wells Planetarium to learn more about these discoveries and how you can use the constellations to find your way around the night sky.
